The Hook
                      
                      A teenager drove his date to Lovers' Lane for 
                      a make-out session before it was time to take 
                      her home. The place was dark and deserted. 
                      After turning on the radio for a bit of mood 
                      music, he leaned over and began kissing her. 
                      Suddenly the music stopped and an announcer's 
                      voice came on, warning in an urgent tone that 
                      a convicted murderer had just escaped from the 
                      state insane asylum which happened to be near 
                      and that anyone who noticed a stranger lurking 
                      about with a hook in place of his right hand 
                      should report his whereabouts to the police 
                      immediately. 

                      The girl was frightened and asked to be taken 
                      home. Instead, the boy locked all the doors 
                      and assured her they were safe and tried to 
                      kiss her again. She became frantic and pushed 
                      him away, insisting that they leave. Peevishly, 
                      he relented, jerking the car into gear and the 
                      wheels of the car spinning as he pulled out of 
                      the parking space. 

                      When they arrived at her house she got out of 
                      the car, and, reaching to close the door, she 
                      began to scream uncontrollably. The boy ran 
                      around to her side to see what was wrong and 
                      there, dangling from the door handle, was a 
                      bloody hook.
